Iridium RUDICS

Multi-Protocol, Circuit-Switched Data Connectivity

Router-Based Unrestricted Digital Internetworking Connectivity Solutions (RUDICS) is an enhanced data service that allows customers who have requirements for large data transfers the ability to transfer data via reliable, affordable, multi-protocol Mobile Originated (MO) and Mobile Terminated (MT) circuit switched data connectivity across the Iridium satellite network. It utilizes circuit switching technology via a dial-up modem and ISDN for low-bandwidth data transfer for Iridium subscriber units (ISUs), enabling a host application to originate and terminate numerous connections simultaneously. Often these applications are designed to support hundreds or thousands of remote units.
